History

The Acupressure-Acupuncture Institute was founded in 1983 and has maintained
the same ownership since its inception. In August 2000, the Acupressure-Acupuncture
Institute changed its name to the Southeast Institute of Oriental Medicine
(SEIOM) to better reflect its purpose of training students in the art
of Oriental Bodywork and Medicine. In August 2003, when SEIOM received
college status, the name was changed again to Acupuncture & Massage College
(AMC). It is the oldest licensed acupuncture school in Florida, and remains
a dynamic center for the study of acupuncture, Oriental medicine and Oriental
bodywork.

The college was named a candidate by the Accreditation Commission for
Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine in May 1998. It obtained accreditation
in November 2000, and was reaccredited in 2003.
